overclock your processor. its the only way. or turn down your settings... set to best speed settings from wiki info.

I have 640x480 screen resolution thats as low as it goes. I really dont want to overclock ill buy the game before i do that.
I have a Radeon 7850 and a Nvidia 550 TI to pick from would one of these be better off for the mgs game?

Not really. If your IR is set to 1x already, the HD 7850 should be more than able to handle it. Things like IR and AA depend on your GPU. If your graphical settings and enhancements are at the lowest values possible and you still get slowdowns, this is indicative of a CPU bottleneck. As Venomx1 said, you should overclock or alternatively upgrade your CPU altogether.

One thing you can do settings-wise is to try enabling Accurate VBeam Emulation (right click the game in Dolphin, go to Properties). Some people have noted that it helps with the speed. You might also try using older revisions. I wouldn't go past 3.5-77, since that's when the new-ax-hle branch was merged and GC audio in a lot of games improved with HLE audio. Also, be sure to download them from the new official website (your profile says 3.5-367, which is the last available build from the old site). Check them out here: http://dolphin-emu.org/download/
